The new Metal Hybrid PPTC breaker, MHP-TAC, offers higher

voltage rating (12VDC) and smaller size than typical MHP-TAM

breakers. MHP-TAC helps to meet the battery safety requirements

of higher-capacity Lithium (Ion) Polymer and Prismatic batteries

found in most mobile devices such as laptop PC’s, tablets, and

smart phones. MHP technology connects a bimetal protector in

parallel with a Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC)

device. The PPTC device is to act as a heater and to help keep the

bimetal latched until the fault is removed. The resulting MHP-TAC

helps to provide resettable overtemperature protection.
